Windows 7: MS Natural Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard 7000 ISSUES

OK, so I just received my new keyboard (MS Natural Wireless Ergonomic 7000)today in the mail. I followed the instructions; loaded the drivers, installed the batteries, and configured the new keyboard and mouse.

My issue is that EVERY 10-20 minutes the keyboard loses the connection with the receiver and has to be reset. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, I put in new batteries, and moved the receiver to every possible USB port on my PC. I have tried everything I can think of to remedy, but this annoying problem still persists!

The mouse never loses it's connection, it works flawlessly the entire time! I am out of ideas... other than call MS because of a bum keyboard!

Been there done that... I even tried the drivers online as well as those on the CD.

I will take your word for it. I'm sure you have tried everything obvious.

I am gonna try hooking kb & mouse to my lappy later today to rule out any possible software issues, but this is totally intermittent!

KB was still on this morning, when I woke PC from sleep and 10 minutes later... gone! This is very frustrating!

================================================================================================
Rather than double posting I am UPDATING:
I tried the kb/mouse combo on my laptop... same result, and this time I tried it without the Intellipoint drivers 1st. KB lost connectivity in 5 minutes, added IP drivers and same result. Called MS technical support and they are sending me a new kb/mouse!

No, I havent bothered because the problem was replicated on my laptop which has a clean install of Win7 and it didnt matter if I had the Intellipoint software loaded or not. The KB still lost its connection with the USB tranceiver... so it is the KB.

Besides that after 1 phone call to MS they are sending me a complete replacement set, so I will have an extra working transceiver and mouse!

Disable a key on MS Ergonomic 4000 keyboardThe MS software for this 4000 keyboard allows reassigning or disabling of some of the keys, but offers no such facility for the CTRL key. Because of an apparent problem that I have with the little finger on my right hand it often seems to not only strike the Shift key but also strikes the right...
